Set.prototype.forEach()
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
TheforEach() method ofSet instances executes a provided function oncefor each value in this set, in insertion order.
In this article
Try it
function logSetElements(value1, value2, set) { console.log(`s[${value1}] = ${value2}`);}new Set(["foo", "bar", undefined]).forEach(logSetElements);// Expected output: "s[foo] = foo"// Expected output: "s[bar] = bar"// Expected output: "s[undefined] = undefined"Syntax
forEach(callbackFn)forEach(callbackFn, thisArg)Parameters
callbackA function to execute for each entry in the set. The function is called with the following arguments:
thisArgOptionalA value to use as
thiswhen executingcallbackFn.
Return value
None (undefined).
Description
TheforEach() method executes the providedcallback once for each value which actually exists in theSet object. It is not invoked for values which have been deleted. However,it is executed for values which are present but have the valueundefined.
callback is invoked withthree arguments:
- theelement value
- theelement key
- the
Setobject being traversed
There are no keys inSet objects, however, so the first two arguments arebothvalues contained in theSet. This is to make itconsistent with otherforEach() methods forMap andArray.
If athisArg parameter is provided toforEach(),it will be passed tocallback when invoked, for use as itsthis value. Otherwise, the valueundefined will be passed foruse as itsthis value. Thethis value ultimately observable bycallback is determined according tothe usual rules for determining thethis seen by a function.
Each value is visited once, except in the case when it was deleted and re-added beforeforEach() has finished.callback is not invoked forvalues deleted before being visited. New values added beforeforEach() hasfinished will be visited.
forEach() executes thecallback function once foreach element in theSet object; it does not return a value.
Examples
>Logging the contents of a Set object
The following code logs a line for each element in aSet object:
function logSetElements(value1, value2, set) { console.log(`s[${value1}] = ${value2}`);}new Set(["foo", "bar", undefined]).forEach(logSetElements);// Logs:// "s[foo] = foo"// "s[bar] = bar"// "s[undefined] = undefined"Specifications
